Rights of migrants from EU EU citizens can enter and stay 6 months if seeking job Registration not required No rights to assistance from the state when not registered After 6 months register or leave

Rights of migrants from EU Registration only possible with proof of: - legal employment - sufficient funds (€ ) - self-employment - family member to someone registered. Registration on base of employment gives access to social security and health care. NOT available to the homeless migrants

The legal position of homeless EU citizens in Denmark No rights to registration or services ‘Overstayers’ - lose “right to reside” No warrant for expulsion in legislation A legal void...and a social downfall

Conclusions Basic rights violated Legal status unclear Situation deteriorating as result of crisis Government ignores situation
